This document specifies a mechanism for IPv6 islands to communicate
with each other over an IPv4 cloud without explicit tunnel setup,
requiring only one IPv4 address (and a derived IPv6 address
containing this IPv4 address) per IPv6 island. Each IPv6 island
needs a Dual Stack MP-BGP-speaking edge router. The hosts in the
IPv6 islands can use native IPv6 addresses. The method uses MP-BGP
in the edge routers to exchange IPv6 reachability information between
the IPv6 islands.

NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
